Tickets have gone on sale for the National Lottery’s revamped Lotto game, and every £2 line now carries two chances to win. The first two-round draw takes place on Wednesday, bringing in a format that keeps the six-number pick but splits the action into two separate rounds.

That is why Lotto Results 13 June 2026 is being searched now: the game has changed, but only from this week, and players want to know what they are getting for the same price. Under the new setup, each draw uses two sets of six main numbers and a bonus ball drawn on separate machines, with wins possible in one round, the other, or both from the same ticket.

The move matters because the National Lottery has kept the familiar structure in place while adding another chance to land a payout. Players still choose six numbers from 59 balls, jackpots still start at £2 million, and the prize ladder is unchanged for the smaller tiers. What is different is the way the draw now works: a single line can win twice, and the jackpot is shared across both rounds.

Allwyn says that shift should lift the annual number of Lotto millionaires from around 140 to about 345, with the odds of winning any prize improving from 1-in-9.3 to 1-in-4.9. That is a big promise for a game that still costs £2 a line and still asks for the same six numbers, but the extra opportunity is built into the same ticket rather than into a higher price or a bigger stake.

Chris Bradley, who won £3.5 million with Geraldine Bradley in 2006, has backed the relaunch by saying the new format gives players two chances to win from a single ticket. The Bradleys, who feature in the National Lottery’s It Could Be You ad, know how quickly one line can change a life. Their win came through a family syndicate, and that detail underlines the one thing the relaunch cannot promise: more chances, yes, but still no guarantee that a single ticket will do the job in either round.

The first retail ticket was bought in Great Yarmouth at 5.01am on Sunday for next Saturday’s draw, while the first online purchase was made in Aylesbury using an advanced play option that covers the next four draws. Those early buys show how quickly the new format has gone live, but they do not answer the question that will matter most after Wednesday: whether the doubled-shot design turns into the sharper rise in winners that Allwyn is forecasting.
